No More Excuses

Weight has been a struggle for me since the third grade, with an all-time high of 180 pounds. What I've found through all of my trials and tribulations is that my battle is more about mind than body; I know what I'm supposed to do, but the motivation and energy is difficult to find. I'm hoping that this place will give me the support and affirmation that I thrive on.

Fitness Minutes: 1,463

My Goals:
I want to get to a point where I feel energized and fit. I've never EVER worn a swimsuit in public and I'd like to prove to myself that it's actually possible. I would also like to help motivate my mom to lose weight because it's something that she struggles with, also.

My Program:
I'm learning how to be a morning exerciser, I want to get a puppy so that I have an exercise buddy and I'm going to try to be very vigilant about tracking what I'm putting in my mouth. I have a tendency to lose some weight, get complacent and then gain it back. I want to break the cycle and develop habits for good!

Personal Information:
My name is Olivia, and I'm from the Central Coast. I love wine tasting, travel, horseback riding and being outdoors.

Other Information:
I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be.

I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don't want to believe that. But if you're over age twenty-one, your life is what you're making of it. To change your life, you need to change your priorities.

Hey there-- thanks for commenting on my blog. I'm sorry to have offended you! I certainly didn't mean to. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts, and don't mean to imply that all "non-organic" foods are "laden with pesticides." I'm sorry that struck a nerve. :(

I am doing my best to learn about healthful foods and sustainable practices, but I certainly don't know as much as you clearly do. I've only read that berries tend to be in the more heavily-sprayed produce and are one of the "dirty dozen" so that's my only basis for that comment while I was sounding off my own insecurities and frustrations with trying to do what's best for my health. I didn't mean to imply that all non-organic foods are that way. I certainly buy MOSTLY non-organic (as I can't afford organic mostly!), and have thus far not had any major health defects. I know farmers do their best, and what is most sustainable and profitable for them. I support farmers, and live in SD-- of course a state that is supported greatly by farming and agriculture.

I apologize for being judgmental... as stated in my blog, it's definitely something I'm struggling with and working on personally. I had no intent to offend or universally label... :(

Smiling is infectious,
You catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling, too.

I passed around the corner
And someone saw my grin
When he smiled I realized
I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile
Then I realized its worth,
A single smile, just like mine
Could travel round the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin,
Don't leave it undetected
Let's start an epidemic quick,
And get the world infected!

Here's to a successful week!

Thanks for your comment on my blog :)
I will be staying away from pizza for a while! I am so tired of pizza anyway so I guess it works out lol.

I have been wanting to do some slow cooker meals, I will be doing some research on that soon, thanks for the reminder :)

We spent our 11 year anniversary doing homework together lol. We both had a lot of work to do. At least we spent the night together lol

Hope you are having a great week!
